The Glory of Victory

There was a lot of commotion in the RAPT headquarters in Tokyo. In the main office, RAPT head Glenford faced Sei, granddaughter of the Chinese group Bailan's head, and Jo, a clone warrior he had created with the help of others, trying to protect the main sytem of RAPT, in form of a giant biotechnological brain. Sei shoots Glenford, who turns out to be such a brain in a metal suit. Then Jo pointed her desert eagles at the brain.

"You just reached a whole new world. WELCOME TO HELL!" She shot the brain, which triggered a defense mechanism, causing the entire building to explode.

Jo suddenly saw a bright light, and stood in a white room with a few men in uniforms and one completely covered in a metal suit.

"Specimen secured, sir." The one in the suit then spoke up. His voice was dark and slightly static, presumably caused by his suit.

"Excellent. Welcome aboard, Jo."

"Aboard? Aboard of what?"

"Of our mother ship." Jo was dumbfounded.

"Mother ship? You mean a space ship?"

"Exactly, Jo. Maybe I should explain more thoroughly."

"Yeah, you should. And where's Sei?" She looked around.

"Was that the name of the female with you?"

"Yes."

"Terminated in the explosion. We had no use for her, so why should we let her live?"

"Simply because she is... was a human." The man was apparently dumbfounded by that. He turned to another man.

"Note this. Specimen feels compassion towards lesser beings." Before Jo could speak up about that comment, he cut her off.

"Like I said, I should explain. First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Baron. I am the greatest scientist of the great Garonian empire. I am the one who brought RAPT the knowledge to create you and what you call the "glowing brains". However, Glenford wanted to use it for his own purposes, so he got that professor so that he wouldn't need me. So I replaced him." Jo remembered the image of Glenford as a glowing brain. Then the man removed a piece of the head piece of his suit, revealing a glowing brain. Jo immediately drew her weapons.

"Your one of them."

"Correction. They were one of me. Now then, where was I? Ah, yes. You. You and the other "genocide angels" were cloned humans, but you also possess Garonian DNA. You're remotely stronger than humans, but you can't reach up to a real Garonian." As if to demonstrate, he dashed up to her, disarmed her and kneed her in the guts, making he squirm on the floor for a bit. After a while, she spoke up again.

"Why? What were you doing this for? Were you destroying so many lives, just for science?"

"No, Jo. We Garonians never do anything without a military reason."

"So you're planning a war against the humans." That's when everyone in the room broke out laughing, which confused Jo. After he calmed himself down, Baron spoke seriously again.

"Those apes wouldn't even be good enough for sport. Target practice, maybe, but no more. We could never expect a real challenge from such an infernal species. No, Jo, we want the humans for another reason. We are in a 20,000 year war that is about to reach it's climax. Soldiers and war machines are dropping like flies, and our bio reactors are practically overheating. The biomass of 10 billion humans is enough to create millions of units. With that we shall win this war. Understand?"

"You're gonna sacrifice an entire world, just so you can win. How could I understand? You said it yourself, your men are dropping like flies. This war must have taking billions of lives on both sides, and for what?"

"FOR VICTORY!" He then raised his fists to chest level and swung them rapidly downwards and repeated.

"Vic-tor-y. Vic-tor-y. Vic-tor-y." The other men fell in to the chant. The pace quickened.

"Vic-tor-y. Vic-tor-y. Vic-tor-y." Jo felt like she gonna go mad. Eventually they stopped.

"Jo, try to understand. For us Garonians, there is no sacrifice too big, no war too long, no enemy too strong. We will never give up. Our purpose in life, is to fight. For the glory, of VICTORY!" Then all the other men. "Please, Jo. See reason. Join us. Become a part of the honor and glory." Jo just stared at him.

"That's insane. Fighting wars just so you can them is mad." Then she felt brutal pain from being punched into the floor by Baron.

"What...the hell...is wrong with you?" She could sense the trembling anger in his voice. "You are supposed to have Garonian blood. I observed the project. You were like us once. You were one of us, until..." He stopped. "Until that day, two years ago. The day you met..." He went over to a control panel and worked on it. There was a screen on which you could see earth. Then it zoomed in on Japan, then Tokyo, then at the destroyed RAPT headquarters. Then it zoomed in on a girl with red hair, wearing a cowboy hat.

"Until you met that infamous red-head."

"Meg."

"Exactly. We have heard of cases in which love put fear into a warrior's heart. Yes, that's what happened. You love her." Jo's heart pace quickened. She feared what he was getting.

"If you even touch her, I will..."

"Yes, I know. Such methods have already proven useless. Much as I know, there is no way to free a heart, once it is chained by fear. So, Jo. You shall watch. Watch, as the woman you love, and her entire pitiful race, die in the clouds of Garonium-gas. Then, we will execute you. Take her away."

"Yes, sir." As Jo got dragged off, she knew she had to devise a plan.

I have to escape. Then I have to fight my through a ship with probably hundreds, maybe thousands of men who had dedicated their lives to warfare, and then find a way to work their computer keep them from distributing that gas of theirs. She blinked. Well, if it isn't anything else, I'm still pretty screwed. But I'll at least die trying. She then got locked up in a cell and started devising a plan.

Alright. This was my first story, so please review and tell me what you think I could do to make it better.
